Introduction
The format for this Guide was chosen by Joan Redding, former Assistant Archivist of the
Museum. She based it on the Smithsonian's guides to the photographic collections. Redding
compiled much of the first draft. Rhode, Lindsay, and Stocker have been adding new data when
appropriate. The collections numbers (i.e. OHA 17, HC 12) were generated solely for the Guide
and are not used by the collections departments with the exception of Otis Archives. The index
lists words used in the Guide's collection descriptions and may include other terms relevant to a
collection, but not necessarily used in the Guide's description of that collection. Updates or
additions to the Guide since December 1999 have been marked with an *.
The National Museum of Health and Medicine was founded during the Civil War by
Surgeon General William Hammond as the Army Medical Museum, a center for the collection of
specimens for research in military medicine and surgery. On May 21, 1862, Hammond issued
Surgeon General's Office Circular #2, announcing, "As it is proposed to establish in Washington,
an Army Medical Museum, Medical officers are directed diligently to collect, and to forward to
the office of the Surgeon General, all specimens of morbid anatomy, surgical or medical, which
may be regarded as valuable; together with projectiles and foreign bodies removed, and such
other matters as may prove of interest in the study of military medicine or surgery. These objects
should be accompanied by short explanatory notes. Each specimen in the collection will have
appended the name of the medical officer by whom it was prepared." Surgeon John Brinton, the
first curator (1862-1864), undertook an aggressive collecting campaign which included visiting
mid- Atlantic battlefields as well as soliciting contributions from doctors throughout the Union
Army. The information collected during the Civil War was compiled into six volumes of The
Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion (MSHWR), published between 1870
and 1883. (Later editions of the series were titled The Medical and Surgical History of the Civil
War.)
During and after the war. Museum staff took pictures of wounded soldiers, showing effects
of gunshot wounds as well as results of amputations and other surgical procedures. Museum
photographs were copied as engravings for MSHWR and also published as an eight-volume set
called Photographs of Surgical Cases and Specimens (now in a collection called Surgical
Photographs). Joseph J. Woodward, Brinton's assistant curator, later directed the Museum's
photography division and pioneered in photomicrographic techniques.
Brinton's successors included George A. Otis (1864-1881), who accomplished most of the
work for MSHWR, and D.L. Huntington (1881-1883), who completed the final volumes. John S.
BiUings, the fourth curator (1883-1893), established a library and cataloging system which later
formed the basis for the National Library of Medicine. Billings also initiated the Museum's
collection of historical microscopes. Fifth curator Walter Reed (1893-1902) led the Museum into
research on infectious diseases while discovering the cause of yellow fever. The sixth and
seventh curators, James Carroll (1902-1907) and F.F. Russell (1907-1913), contributed to
research on vaccinations for typhoid fever. During World War 1 Museum staff were involved in
vaccinations and health education campaigns, including major efforts to combat
sexually-transmissible diseases.
By World War 2 research at the Museum focused increasingly on pathology; in 1946 the
1
Museum became a division of the new Army Institute of Pathology (AIP), which became the
Armed Forces Mstitute of Pathology (AFIP) in 1949. Under the AFIP director, the Museum has
been headed by the curator (1945-1975), AFIP associate director for the museum (1975-1988),
and museum director (1988-present). The Museum's library and part of its archives were
transferred to the National Library of Medicine when it was created in 1956. The Army Medical
Museum became the Medical Museum of the AFIP in 1949, Armed Forces Medical Museum in
1974, and the National Museum of Health and Medicine in 1989.
Museum collections are held in three departments: Otis Historical Archives (the Museum's
records, manuscript and photographic collections, rare books, and art works); Anatomical
Collections (skeletal remains and pathological specimens); and Historical Collections (medical
artifacts). There are also two repositories of medical research material, Neuroanatomical
Collections (brain sections) and the Human Developmental Anatomy Center (specimens, models
and images of fetal development and brain anatomy), whose holdings are described in
departmental databases. Infrequently a collection will be deaccessioned or merged with another
collection; in that case the reference number will be retained and a note explaining the status of
the collection will be provided.
Otis Historical Archives
Michael Rhode, Archivist
Kathleen Stocker, Assistant Archivist
The Museum formally established the Historical Archives in 1968 to take custody of the
Museum's records, other historical documents, and rare books, which were previously held in
various divisions. The department was named the Otis Historical Archives (OHA) in 1971. OHA
collections include institutional records and collected material.
Digitization of some of the collections began in 2005. Please refer to the individual
collection description for details. Many items (including some that are not specifically mentioned
below) that have been digitized may be identified and downloaded from the museum's website at
http://nmhm.washingtondc.museum/collections/archives/new_offering.html or from the Internet
Archive at www.archive.org via a search for 'Otis Historical Archives.'
Part I: Institutional Records
Mstitutional records fall into three categories: Curatorial Records are those series that
ended before 1946, when the Museum became a division of the Army Mstitute of Pathology.
With this change, the curator no longer headed an independent institution but served under the
AIP director. Museum Records include series that were created since, or continued after, that
date. Contemporary Museum records are arranged into collections by department and then into
series by individual staff members. Current Museum departments include Otis Historical
Archives, Anatomical Collections, Historical Collections, Education and Public Programs,
Exhibits, and the Administrative Office. These active records are closed to researchers.
Photographic collections are named separately.

Anatomical Collections
Franklin Damann, Curator
Brian F. Spatola, Collections Manager
The Anatomical Collections are comprised of historic and contemporary human and
comparative anatomical material of various preparations types. The material is predominantly
made up of isolated pathological specimens with case histories. The major preparation types are
dry bone and formalin fixed specimens, though we have examples of impregnated (plastinated)
and injected specimens, corrosion casts, and embedded specimens.
The collection began in 1862 starting with Civil War surgical and medical specimens
collected by order of the Surgeon General. This material was the foundation of the Army Medical
Museum (AMM). After the war the museum expanded its collection of pathological material and
also began collecting specimens of anatomic and anthropological significance. Thousands of
specimens were donated, purchased, or acquired over the years. Some 2,000 sets of Native
American remains were subsequently turned over to the National Museum in the 1890s and early
1900s. After World War 2, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology grew out of the former
AMM and the museum received its material from cases referred to the institute for consultation.
Three categories of material comprise the collections: anatomical and pathological skeletal
specimens; gross anatomical and pathological (medical) specimens; and miscellaneous material.
Mformation about the documentation relating to each collection or specimen varies; most skeletal
specimens have excellent documentation, but some gross pathological specimens have little or no
information.
The skeletal collection is organized into distinct subgroups. The gross collection is
organized according to organ or system. Miscellaneous collections include trichobezoars
(hairballs); urinary, gall, and bladder calculi (stones); dental materials; pubic symphyses
(cartilaginous joints); and wax corrosion casts.
This section has been substantially revised since the 1998 edition of the Guide.
Skeletal Collections
The skeletal collections contain nearly 5,000 pathological and normal human and
non-human specimens, mostly single elements rather than complete skeletons. The collections
are organized by skeletal element.

Historical Collections
Alan Hawk, Collections Manager
James Curley, Museum Specialist
The Historical Collections division contains the Museum's artifacts. Based on the
Museum's history as a military institution, many of the artifacts in the collection were used or
purchased by the U.S. Army and reflect the concerns of military medicine. The collection
includes medical instruments used in every major conflict that the U.S. armed forces were
involved in from the American Revolution to the Global War on Terrorism.
The first mention of the historical collections of the Army Medical Museum is in an 1864
letter requisitioning an exhibit case for a collection of Union Army medical equipment. After the
war medical instruments were purchased from American manufacturers "For Deposit in the
Army Medical Museum" and evaluated for the U.S. Army. After the turn of the century, the
Museum purchased fewer instruments as collecting emphasized historical pieces and the number
of donations increased. After World War 1, captured medical equipment was added to the
collection and, as a result, the collection better represents the medical technology of the enemy
forces than that of the United States during the wars of the 20th century. Li the early 1980s, many
objects were either transferred or discarded, greatly reducing the size and the quality of the
collection.
Since 1987, aggressive collecting has allowed the collection to grow, filling in gaps in the
collection and expanding its scope. Medical technology during the last half of the 20th century
developed rapidly, which means that equipment often becomes "obsolete" long before it gets
"old" or even "historic." As a result, significant pieces of equipment are discarded, destroyed, or
sent to other countries rather than being preserved. The proliferation of technology also means
the development of new medical specialties, such as laparoscopic surgery, nuclear magnetic
resonance imaging, telemedicine, computers, and robotics, which have drastically changed
medical practice. Historical Collections continues to grow in order to keep the collection current
and viable. Forty percent of the over 15,000 artifacts in the collection have been accessioned
since 1987. Historical Collections is actively collecting equipment and instruments developed for
or used by the military. Current collecting initiatives include the Col Richard M. Satava
Collection to document medical devices that utilize advanced computer technologies, the Global
War on Terrorism initiative to preserve medical advances fielded during the current war and the
Orthotics and Prosthetics initiative preserving advances in artificial limb development.
The Museum has had the unique opportunity to collect artifacts documenting the medical
practice of several individual doctors: Dr. Naomi Kanof, a dermatologist in Washington, D.C.;
Dr. Irving Feur, a general practitioner in Larchmont, New York; Robert Martin, an optometrist in
Farmville, Virginia; Dr. Boris Rabkin, a cardiologist, and his wife Dr. Dorothy Rabkin, a
pediatrician, in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Dr. Mary Senseman, a homoeopathist in
Monticello, Illinois. Another recent acquisition is instruments and equipment from Trauma Bay
n, Balad Theater Hospital, Iraq, the place where more casualties were treated than any other spot
during the Global War on Terrorism, which will provide unique documentation of the life and
death struggles of wartime surgeons and patients, and furniture of the sick bay of the USS Gage
(APA-68), which served as an amphibious assault ship during the U.S. Marine Corps invasion of
Okinawa during the Second World War. These collections include medical instruments,
equipment, medical furniture, documents and, in some cases, the waiting room furniture.
114
Part I: MESH (Subject Headings) Collections
Most of the artifacts in Historical Collections are maintained as one collection and are
categorized according to function or use as described by the 2004 Medical Subject Headings
(MESH) of the National Library of Medicine. Object nomenclature is based on ECRI Universal
Device Nomenclature System (UMDNS) and Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT). The
collection is cataloged on a computerized database which is intended to define search categories
for the object, rather than written descriptions. Objects can be searched for according to any one
of the various cataloging numbers used by the Museum, either the manufacturer's or owner's
serial number, up to three Medical Subject Headings, a defined object description, individual or
institutional affihation, manufacturer or distributor, country of origin, and time period of
manufacture. Li addition to the description of the main object, the computerized record also
records the location of the objects in the museum and provides a listing of all the components of
a set, if appropriate. All MESH collections are active; there are no restrictions.
Diagnostics
One of the keys to the success of modern medicine is the variety of devices that give consistent
